The Joyce Spencer Textile Awards are to support regional NSW textile artists or collectives to deliver new artworks or exhibitions. Named after the textile artist Joyce Spencer (1928 – 2019), the awards are made possible with funds from the Spencer family and Western Riverina Arts, in partnership with the Cad Factory.
One Fellowship of $4000 will be awarded to a mid-career artist or group to assist in achieving their outcome. A $1500 Highly Commended Award and a $600 Prize will also be awarded. For projects delivered between July 2025 and December 2027.
Round 5 Expressions of Interest will open on 30 April 2025 and close at midnight on 11 June 2025.
